In a study at the University of Colorado, 121 people who got regular migraine headaches used marijuana daily to prevent attacks. About 40% of them said the number of migraine headaches they got each month was cut in half.
were you in this study big? Do you believe this to be true? I mean how would you know of you already use cannabis everyday? Could be worse if you didn’t maybe?
no , i was not in that study
but yes , i do believe cannabis has had a positive result in my life and i have read many stories on how migraine sufferers found some sort of relief
i have tried using cannabis during a migraine but to no avail
i see cannabis more as a preventative treatment
a little factoid about my cannabis use…..i quit for many years , life , family , kids , job…..
i had migraines back then when i wasnt using and took regular pain meds including the injectable imitrex…..
then my life changed , again , and i was reunited with cannabis , about 20 yrs ago….since then , the number of migraines decreased significantly
at one point in my life , on the average , i had at least one migraine a week….on the average i say because i would go a month or two with zero headaches and then i would get clusters of migraines
that is how i found out that i have a 50-50 chance of getting a rebound migraine if i took some opiates for relief , and they work , but , coming down gives me another chance at a rebound
i was so sick once with cluster migraines for about 30 days and i finally had to call an ambulance to take me to the hospital , i couldn't even drive
i hope that helps you understand where i am coming from
